I present to you a bouquet of late summer wildflowers harvested from the weeds that have been choking the garden all season. It's dual-purpose: beautifying our home and preventing proliferation.

I also harvested a bunch of marigold seed pods today and am breaking them to dry--there's a lot of them, so I'm doing it in batches. I'm not betting on anything, though, since they were likely hybrids. Even if I get one more season out of them, I doubt I'll be abe to get a steady strain, but here's to hoping! Maybe next year I'll be able to try my hand at saving vegetable seeds.
